Roots

In the 18th century, before the vineyard was established, the ridge on
which the Château now stands was covered in heather. In full bloom,
it tinged the hillside pink. Sailors, aboard their flat-bottomed
barges carrying wine along the estuary, could bear witness to it.
They named this place “Mont Rose.” A poetic and evocative name,
adopted with the creation of the estate in 1815: Château Montrose.
